Trivia

When Mrs. Doyle is telling Ted about the profanity in the book, several of the words and phrases were not in the original script but were introduced by Pauline McLynn during filming. You can see Dermot Morgan trying not to laugh at her last line "Ride me sideways", which he hadn't been expecting.

Goofs

When Father Ted stiffly walks over to the couch area, in response to the story told by Miss Clarke, the studio lights and ceiling are briefly seen over the top of the set walls.

Quotes

[after Ted's incredibly short mass]
Sr. Assumpta: We might not be coming back next year. They say Father Clippit does a good long mass. Three hours he does, on a good night. Since his stroke. That's value for money!

User Reviews

You're thinking of the episode "Rock-A-Hula" (the "Lovely Girls" episode)...

...in the second season, with Clare Grogan (as C.P. Grogan for union reasons) as a guest star playing Niamh Connelly - an angry, Sinead O'Connor-esquire pop star. Grogan had a pop band in the early 80's called "Altered Images".

"And God Created Woman" finds Ted uncomfortable with seemingly coincidental, non-stop, run-ins with a woman who writes steamy novels (Ted's guilty pleasure) and who takes an apparent interest in Ted - eventually ending up at the Parochial House to stay for the evening. Ted's extreme discomfort with this, mixed with his attraction to the woman, lead to the usual fun.
